After putting the letter In the box she retraced her atepa, but while crossing Seventeenth street was struck by the car. The umbrella carried by Irs Lam born, uoon wh ich was Inscribed the name or Dr. Franklin Taylor, 12J North Klghteentb street, led to the identification of the bodv.

Colonel Mann's Speech. Oeneral Bearer having read his gracefully. worded memorial, wbicta will be spread upon the minutes of the court, Colonel Will iam B. Mann was called upon as one of Mr. Cnrtin's most intimate associates.

The old Ivt'publican war horse, broad shouldered and strong faced, despite the weight of years under which he bends, began in a clear voice to express an unnecessary apology for bis consciousness of his inability to do justice to the occasion, and he added that when his in-ability to proceed became painfully apparent, as he knew it would, he would come to an abrupt conclusion. For," continued the old lawyer, "my love for him. like that of all who loved him, grew with the meat it fed upon. The brain will whirl, the muscle will tremble and the heart will overflow in the presence of such a sorrow as ours. It was my good fortune to become acquainted with Andrew Gregg Curtin in lsflS).

There was in that year a gathering of his friends in the Girard House in Philadelphia. It was important to their designs that I -hould be with them and that we should act in harmony. "Mr, Curtin came to seo me without any introduction. I was engaged in my office, when happening to look up I cast my eyes upon ft man who at once impressed me tall, handsome, even beautiful, like some youthful statesman of a former age. I thought at nnrpnf Alrl ibindes.

of Athens, as 1 bad read of him. He captured mc on the moment, As the result of our conversation he went back to his friends in conference ana said: 'I have got the 'Are yon sore of he was asked. "Yes," he answered, he looked me in the face and told I happened to have opportunies at the time of knowing who would be the men who would he elected as delegates to the State Convention, which was about to nominate a candidate for Governor. Such knowledge is nower. It cave me the opportunity to visit he men who would become the members of tliat body.

I took Mr. Curtin to them. He talked to them as he did to me. His manner won them as it had me, and the result was that almost the entire delegation from Philadelphia to the State Convention were in favor of Curtin, and his nomination became historic. Curtln's Trust In Others.

"Androw Curtin was a confiding man. He was not one of those people who are so very wise and so very selfish as to refuse to consult with their friends and to confide in them. It is better for man to go through life confiding in peoplo than distrusting them, because confidence begets confidence and trust in others. This trait of his character made him of invaluable service to his couutry when dark clouds lowered over the nation. "It resulted in his bringing about that famous meeting of the war Governors of the North.

Men in power must lean on some one, on some fond breast the parting Boldier lies. The President of the United States was in distressof mind. The war Governors of the Korth said to him: 'You can lean onus. We have powerful communities back of us. who extend to you their sympathy and It strengthened the arm of tho government in tho hour of need.

That potential meeting of Governors Mr. Curtin brought abont. He commissioned Charles Gilpin, of Philadelphia, and myself to go to New York State and see Governor Morgan and beseech his aid. Curtin's letter I handed to Governor Morgan, and as a result of its contents we came away from Albany satisfied. One peculiar charm about Governor Cor-tin was felt by all the people throughout the State, and that was the inspiring quality that he wasiahle to exert.

He would appeal to soltUctWith tears streaming down his face. Ho told the departing warriors that the storehouses would bo opened to feed the loved o.ies left behind and he kept his word. Such a man passing away excites our admiration and should not call forth our lamentations. Tho Thracians wisely gave tears to the cradle and garlands to the grave. And if ever garlands deserved to be woven they should be to bear tribute to the worth of the man we have assembled to honor to day.

I think it was Sidney who said that he never read of the battle of Chevy Chase without hearing a sonnd like the blast of a trumpet in his ears. I never heard the voice of Governor Cnrtin without thinking of the blaze ol battle and blast of trumpet. His voice was wonderfully inspiring and its effect was magical. It can be said to the credit of the people of Pennsylvania that they are so much a liberty and union-loving people that treason could not exist among them, and it was largely owing to Governor Curtin'B inspiring voice, which was like a consuming flame in his wrath, that treason forever became odious and opposition to tho Government of the United States failed. Bellel'onto to me hereafter will ever remain a sacred place.

I have made my last visit to this beautiful town to take this humble and feeble part in paying a tribute to the memory of one who was not only my friend, but a lover of his kind. The great War Governor of Pennsylvania bore one of the few immortals' names that were not born to die." Other Euloerles Pronounced. At this point in his fervent, beautiful address, Colonel Mann's feelings so far overcame him that he suddenly took his seat amid the breathless silence of tho assemblage. Governor Pattison, who had entered the room after-the talking had begun, was next called upon and spoke briefly in his usually impressive manner. In the course of his remarks he said "I remember him as one of many schoolboys who loved their Governor.

In the hour of greatest trial in the history of the couutry his was a household name in the city in which I was roared. All our property, all we possessed was, we were taught, in the care of the Governor, and I grew up to reverence him as I did the men who founded this government His was a marked personality, he inspired people, and he lives not only in history but in the lives of men. The inrfssinn he made on men was simply the inspiration of his own character on that of others." One of the most noteworthy addresses of the occasion was made by Ex-Senator John Scott. He said that the two characteristics of Governor Curtin which marked not onlv his professional life as a lawyer, but which distinguished all the phases of his public career, were zeal and fidelity. He traced the displays of these elements in his character through the brunt of civil war; through his services as a diplomat in Kussia through his six years' incumbency of the Governor's chair through his services in the Constitutional Convention, and through his career in Congress.

In conclusion Senator Scott said "If a man's life has not impressed his fellow-men his funornt will not impress them. If a man's life has impressed his fel low-men his funeral will impress them. Of Govornor Curtin I think it can be truthfully said that wherever he met a stranger there he left a friend. Peace to his ashes, honor to his memory." The next speaker was A. K.

McClnro. He talked at greater length than the others who paid tribute to Mr. Cnrtin's memory, and was listened to in impressive silence. He spoke feelingly of the dead man's personal characteristics and treated fully of the conditions under which he created the famous Pennsylvania lieserves, and claimed that without a precedent to guide him he laid down the policy which afterwards guided the nation through the struggle of civil war. Eloquent addresses were also made by Ex-Senator William A.

Wallace, John M. Bailey, of Huntingdon, who served with Mr. Curtin in the Constitutional Convention, and General J. p. s.

Gobin, of Lebanon, who graphically described how Governor Cnrtin placed in his hknds the colors of one of the 212 regiments which composed the Pennsylvania volunteers. The Body In the Court House.
